Looks the stable second string here and qualifies for a mark after this
1	Beechfield Brown J:Trevor Ryan(5) T:Donal Commins	J:Trevor Ryan(5) T:Donal Commins	166	—	1-	-	-	-	—	—	—	+8	10.9	5.50/1	22/1 4%

Didn't jump well when 200-1 for her debut at Killarney in May; off 277 days
NR	Maroto Chestnut J:TBC T:W P Mullins	J: T:W P Mullins	166	—	6	-	92	-	22d	—	—	—	0	—	—
Drop in trip is likely to suit and should come on hugely for that initial experience
NR	Milo Lises Brown J:TBC T:W P Mullins	J: T:W P Mullins	166	—	2-U40	-	114	87	16d	—	—	—	3.5	—	—
Three runs over hurdles so far have been failures; Tramore run would give him a chance
NR	Heidi's Frontiere Bay J:TBC T:Michael G Kennedy	J: T:Michael G Kennedy	159	—	R-787	-	-	-	40d	—	—	—	0	—	—
Others preferred here but should be worth watching for future reference
